The transplant went off with no complication what so ever. In the waiting room JD was pacing while Costa was sitting with his mom when the doctor came out. "How did it go?"JD asked. "Everything went fine Criss and Julie are resting comfortable in the recovery room together. I gotta say this operation went smoothly the kidney fit like a glove in Criss"he replied. "Do you think the kidney will work?"Costa inquired. "We'll have to wait and see"he replied and walked off. In recovery Criss woke up to see Julie on her side waking up herself. "Hey Criss"she remarked smiling at him. "How you feeling?"he asked. "A little sore and tired but I'm fine and you". "Good I just hope the kidney works" Criss stated. "Don't worry Criss you'll be peeing in no time" she replied as Criss chuckled.

"Costa said the same thing before I went in"Criss said. "I'll see you later Christopher" and Julie went back to sleep and so did Criss. When Criss woke up he was back in his room and saw his brothers asleep. JD in a chair and Costa on a bed that was in the room. Criss just laid there for a while just staring at the sleep over he had going on in his room. I wish I had a camera right now he thought as JD stirred a little but didn't wake up. "I see we have a little slumber party going on". Criss turned and saw an ordeal wheeling her in. "I just wish I had a camera it's just too funny"Criss stated. "I think it's sweet that your brother want to stay close to you"Julie said smiling. "Honey tell Dimi to turn down the television"JD mumbled as Criss and Julie chuckled. "I should let you rest Criss I'll talk to you later". "Wait a second do you think you'll be out when I get out of here you still owe me for those pictures I want you to take"Criss remarked. "I'll see what I can do Criss" and she left. A few days passed and Julie got out of the hospital.

When she got to the hotel Costa was waiting for her. "Hey Costa thanks for meeting me" she replied as Costa helped her out. "No problem" Costa remarked as they went in. "So did you find out who won the contest?" Julie inquired. "Yea you the picture you took of my mom holding Criss's hand in the hospital won first place". "Wow Minnie is going to be in shock when she find out I won" Julie said. "Well Felix has your check in his safe just waiting for you when you want it I just wish you weren't going back to Texas" he remarked. Julie knew than that Costa wanted her to stay forever. "Costa I would love to stay but I can't leave Minnie by herself even thou she's can handle stuff on her own Minnie needs me" Julie said smiling. Costa sighed as he looked into her eyes. "Yea I know that feeling I'll let you get comfortable in your room and I'll talk to you later" and gave her a peck on the check
